New York Islanders legends Clark Gillies and Bobby Nystrom sat down with Chris Peters to discuss the ingredients behind their Stanley Cup dynasty. With the excitement of the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs comes an interview with two former titans of the rink, Bobby Nystrom and Clark Gillies. Nystrom and Gillies recently sat down, virtually of course, with Betway …

It’s safe to say that the Islanders have one of the most iconic logos in the NHL. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder if you think it’s a good logo or not, but everyone knows the Islanders logo when they see it. Their color scheme is also very fitting with the royal blue and orange, the colors on …

The Islanders were the Metro division champions in the 2020 NHL Playoffs, and the Eastern Conference runner-up. This was their second season under head coach Barry Trotz and GM Lou Lamoriello, and they’ve led the team much closer to the ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup. What can the front office and the team do to attain that lofty goal? A …

The Islanders were so close… we were so close. An absolute obliteration in game one, the latest of late goals in game two, a VERY quick response in game four, and to cap it all off, a puck that just squeaked past Semyon Varlamov in overtime of game six. Safe to say this series was quite painful, for the players …

The Isles going as far as they did in this year’s playoffs was shocking to everyone not watching, but every team wants to win the Stanley Cup, and only the top-tier teams can ever truly compete for it (think Tampa or Vegas).

The Nassau Coliseum was slowly deteriorating, and the team on the ice had gone from contending for cups, to barely making the playoffs. And while the memories of “Fort NeverLose” will always remain, the fort itself has seen better days. Yes, it was “our dump”, but it …

This was a tough article to write. I originally intended to write about the Islanders’ ongoing stadium situation, but circumstances arose that forced me to change the subject. Those circumstances included police officer Rusten Sheskey unnecessarily shooting Jacob Blake while he was entering his car in Kenosha, Wisconsin earlier this week. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was trying to break …

With the Islanders’ victory over the Washington Capitals in the 2020 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, they have made the second round of the playoffs two seasons in a row. Barry Trotz has coached a team sculpted by Lou Lamoriello, that has become a playoff contender. With all this success, it’s nice to take a look back on how it all came …

Phase 2 of the NHL Draft Lottery took place on Monday, August 10th. Each team that was ousted in the Stanley Cup qualifying round got a 12.5% chance at the first overall pick of the 2020 draft; that pick will almost certainly be used on QMJHL phenom Alexis Lafrenière. The winner of the draft lottery was the crosstown rival New …

The Islanders have beaten the Florida Panthers in their qualifying round series. Now, they wait to see who they will play in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. After all the Stanley Cup Qualifier rounds are finished, teams in each conference are re-seeded. The Islanders would play one of the four round-robin teams, and we’ll take a look at two of the …
